NDLON

NDLON improves the lives of day laborers in the United States. To this end, NDLON works to unify and strengthen its member organizations to be more strategic and effective in their efforts to develop leadership, mobilize, and organize day laborers in order to protect and expand their civil, labor and human rights. NDLON fosters safer, more humane environments for day laborers, both men and women, to earn a living, contribute to society, and integrate into the community.

The falsely named "Secure Communities" program or S-Comm is the fastest expanding deportation dragnet in the country with the Obama Administration stating that it will be nation-wide by 2013 despite its ties to racial profiling, diversion of local resources, and devastating impact on families.
